This approach is closely related to what is generally known as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Industrial_robot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">industrial robotics<\/a> applied to adhesive dispensing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\">\n<h2>Table of Contents<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#panels\">Glue spraying systems for panels and insulating materials<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#materials\">Other materials: glass, textiles, ceramics and more<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#integration\">Integration into existing Lesta production cells<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"panels\">Glue spraying systems for panels and insulating materials<\/h2>\n<p>Lesta&#8217;s <strong>glue spraying systems<\/strong> were developed to meet a very concrete need for panel, furniture and wood component manufacturers: distributing adhesive evenly over large surfaces, without the typical variations of manual application. The robot follows the exact profile of the piece, dosing the glue only where needed and reducing material waste compared to non-automated spraying.<\/p>\n<p>This type of system is mainly used for bonding plywood panels, laminating surfaces and applying insulating materials, where even small irregularities in adhesive distribution can compromise the finished product&#8217;s seal. For furniture and panel manufacturers who already work with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lesta.it\/en\/applications\/wood-varnishing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">industrial wood painting<\/a> systems, a glue spraying system can be integrated into the same production line, sharing the same automation logic and the same robots, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lesta.it\/en\/robot\/lesta-lebot-c\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lesta LEBOT C<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the benefits of uniformity and waste reduction, automating glue spraying also means reducing direct operator exposure to adhesive substances and solvents, a significant aspect of safety management on the shop floor, as well as ensuring more consistent and predictable application times compared to manual work.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"materials\">Other materials: glass, textiles, ceramics and more<\/h2>\n<p>The possibilities go well beyond glue: we can configure systems dedicated to processing glass, jeans and denim, textiles, ceramics, carbon fiber, paper and food products, as well as many other materials on request. As a glue spraying systems specialist, Lesta also adapts its spray head technology to each of these very different substrates.<\/p>\n<p>Each material requires a specific configuration: on glass, for example, automated spraying makes it possible to achieve uniform finishes even on large flat surfaces; on textiles such as jeans and denim, our systems are used for finishing and controlled aging treatments; on ceramics and carbon fiber, the robot&#8217;s precision helps keep the applied material thickness constant, a critical factor when working with structural composite materials.<\/p>\n<p>In the paper and packaging sector too, as well as in food industry applications, robotic spraying makes it possible to process large volumes while maintaining the same application quality on every piece, an important requirement when production demands traceability and process repeatability.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"integration\">Integration into existing Lesta production cells<\/h2>\n<p>In all these cases, the principle is the same one we apply to <strong>glue spraying systems<\/strong>: dedicated heads mounted on the robot&#8217;s wrist, calibrated for the specific material, allowing the same result to be replicated on every piece of production, batch after batch, with predictable cycle times.<\/p>\n<p>Special material systems can be integrated into the same robotic cells already used for industrial painting, sharing cabins, handling systems and management software. This allows companies that already have a Lesta system to add a new application, such as a glue spraying system or a treatment for a different material, without having to redesign the production department layout from scratch, with faster installation times.<\/p>\n<p>If you work with a material that you have not found described on the other pages of our website, contact us: the versatility of Lesta systems often allows us to find a customized automated solution even for very specific needs, both with glue spraying systems and with other configurations dedicated to special materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Automated Spraying and Coating for Every Industry Lesta robots aren&#8217;t limited to traditional industrial painting.
